Study Notes
Prostaglandins
- NOT a function of prostaglandins: transmitting nerve impulses
- One of the functions of prostaglandins in the body: stimulating the hypothalamus
- Role of prostaglandins in the production of protective mucous in the stomach: they increase mucous production
- Effect of prostaglandins on blood vessels: they cause vasodilation
- How prostaglandins sensitize nerves to pain: they increase the sensitivity of pain receptors
Aspirin
- NOT a function of aspirin: transmitting nerve impulses
- Enzyme that aspirin inhibits at the enzyme level: cyclooxygenase (COX)
- How aspirin relieves prostaglandin-induced pain, fever, and inflammation: by inhibiting COX, which reduces prostaglandin production
- How aspirin treats inflammation from some autoimmune diseases: by reducing prostaglandin production
Adrenomedullin (AM)
- Hormone found in the adrenal medulla and secreted as preproAM, which is later cleaved to form mature AM
- Receptors that mediate the effects of adrenomedullin (AM): calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and receptor activity-modifying protein (RAMP)
- Downstream effects of adrenomedullin (AM) mediated by: cAMP and NO pathways
- Half-life of adrenomedullin (AM): 22 minutes
- Antagonist for adrenomedullin (AM): AM22-52
- Primary function of adrenomedullin (AM) in vascular injury: vasodilation and reducing inflammation
- Role of adrenomedullin (AM) in vascular and smooth muscles: relaxation
- Enzyme responsible for metabolizing adrenomedullin (AM): neprilysin
- NOT a function of adrenomedullin (AM): vasoconstriction
Relaxin (RLX-1)
- Primary function of relaxin (RLX-1): relaxing smooth muscles during pregnancy
